When trying to understand the scie... »

The world is turning upside down as people fall from windows and children walk up building walls. Argentine artist, Leandro Erlich, creates a mind-blowing illusion called the ‘Dalson House’ for the Barbican.

Banksy recently did a very interesting piece called ‘Sirens Of The Lambs’ in which he placed a bunch of squeaking stuffed animals in a meat truck. They were packed in the back as if they were being shuttled off to the butcher. Some of the animals had black eyes and showed other signs of abuse.
